As part of this week&#8217;s Throwback Thursday, we&#8217;re taking a look at one of the most iconic brides of all time, Grace Kelly.<\/p>\n<p>Although this was a dress for a wedding in 1956, it is one that has been used as reference for many other royal ceremonies, mostly famously <a title=\"Kate Middleton Wedding Dates\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingdates.ie\/blog\/iconic-bride-kate-middleton\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kate Middleton<\/a>\u2019s wedding dress.\u00a0 It has also been often referred to as one of the most elegant and best remembered wedding dresses of all time.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it\u2019s the American fairytale element to Grace Kelly\u2019s life that alludes to the iconography of this dress and gives it regal elegance. The dress itself was an ivory, high-necked, long sleeved gown with a fitted bodice attached over two petticoats and a bell skirt made with silk taffeta, tulle and lace. The dress was designed by Helen Rose, a costume and clothing designer who had worked with her on several movies including The Swan and like Elizabeth Taylor\u2019s wedding dress, was a gift to her from MGM.<\/p>\n<p>This dress is such a timeless beauty that it is often referenced in reoccurring trends including this year\u2019s New York International Bridal Week where Monique L\u2019huillier showcased her Spring 2014 wedding dress collection. The collection filled with lace and tulle had huge callbacks to both Kelly\u2019s and Taylor\u2019s famous gowns.<\/p>\n<p>Tightly fit waistlines and sleeves emphasizing the smallest parts of a woman\u2019s figure were key trends in L\u2019huillier\u2019s pieces, a common noted staple of a 1950\u2019s gown.<\/p>\n<p>Grace Kelly\u2019s gown will always be noted as a remarkable statement in bridal gowns.
